Replication package for:
Cederman, Pengl, Girardin & Müller-Crepon.
"The Future is History: Restorative Nationalism and Conflict in Post-Napoleonic Europe"
International Organization: Forthcoming.


This replication folder contains all data (in the "data" subfolder) and R code (in the "scripts" subfolder) to replicate the findings reported in the main text and online appendix of our article.

Before starting, please make sure that the following R libraries are installed:
 fixest #v0.11.1
 car #v3.1-2
 here #v1.0.1
 dplyr #v1.1.3
 ggplot2 #v3.4.3
The results should, in principle, not depend on a specific version of these packages but we still state them to ensure long-term reproducibility. The replication package was built and tested in R version 4.3.1 running under macOS Ventura 13.4.

To replicate all results in one go, please use the file "00_replicate_everything.R" from the "scripts" subfolder. Before you run this script, make sure to edit line 4 and enter the path to the location where you have stored our replication folder. Once this is done, run the whole script. It will source individual scripts for each table/figure in the article and appendix and store all tables as .tex files (figures as pdfs) in the "output" subfolder. 

For a closer look at individual tables or analyses within them, only run lines 1-61 of "00_replicate_everything.R" and then open/run the relevant script for the respective table from the "scripts" subfolder (e.g. "table_A16.R").

Note that the marginal effects and their standard errors and significance levels at the bottom of Table 4 (interaction models) are not automatically printed in "output/table_4.tex". To verify these results, please run the script "scripts/table_4.R" line by line and inspect the relevant marginal effects (e.g., "m1.mfx.1") and p values (e.g. "m1.mfx.1.p").  

In case you have any questions on this replication package or spot any errors, please contact Yannick Pengl via e-mail (yannick.pengl@gmail.com).
